START WITH THE LOAD

Match the material to the right container.

One project can produce several waste streams. Describe each major material separately so Fleetwood can review the load, city and disposal route.

Household cleanouts

Furniture, household clutter, cardboard and general cleanout debris may be suitable for a mixed-waste bin after review. Tell us about bulky pieces, appliances, mattresses and anything that may need separate handling.

Renovation and construction

Wood, flooring, roofing debris, metal and other renovation materials may be accepted in an appropriate container. Drywall needs its own drywall-only arrangement. Describe treated or mixed materials and list drywall separately.

Concrete, dirt and masonry

Concrete, brick, soil, sand, gravel and asphalt are dense loads. They generally require a rock box and must be kept separate from general project waste. Share the material and estimated amount so the load and weight can be reviewed.

Wood, metal and yard debris

Identify clean wood, scrap metal, branches and other yard materials separately. Condition, quantity and whether they are mixed with other waste can affect the handling plan. Ask before combining material streams.

SEPARATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Plan separate streams before delivery.

Separating suitable materials helps arrange the right disposal or recycling route. Receiving requirements depend on the load, so confirm the proposed setup before booking.

  • Heavy materialKeep concrete, dirt and other dense loads separate from general waste.
  • DrywallArrange the appropriate drywall-only container before work begins.
  • Suitable recycling streamsTell us about clean wood, metal or other separated loads.
  • Restricted or contaminated itemsKeep them out of an ordinary load until handling has been confirmed.

CHECK BEFORE LOADING

Some items need a separate conversation.

Do not put a questionable or restricted item in a bin until Fleetwood has confirmed acceptance and handling requirements. Some items may need a separate service, disposal route or charge.

Tell the team if material is mixed, treated, wet or contaminated. Do not assume a special item is included in a standard bin.

MATERIALS FAQ

Still unsure about your load?

Ask before loading. A complete material list is the best starting point.

Browse all rental FAQs →
Can I put all my project waste in one bin?

Only after the material and container have been confirmed. Heavy waste, drywall and restricted items may require separate arrangements. Send a complete list so the team can recommend the right setup.

What if my materials change after booking?

Contact Fleetwood before adding a new waste type. The team needs to confirm acceptance, loading requirements and any changes to the quote.

Should I separate materials for recycling?

Describe the separated materials before booking. Suitable streams may have a different disposal or recycling route, and receiving requirements depend on the load.
